[Elecraft] K3 6/10M pre-amp

[Glen]

Hello,

I have had a different experience with regards to the 6M performance.

I was always told for years that the 6M performance on rx was pretty poor.
After I got a K3 recently, I found
the internal preamp to be pretty good.  But, I had a DEMI 6M preamp, so I
installed it in a small die cast box
and bought male BNC connectors and made it mate exactly to the back of the
K3.  Then used the 12 volt out to
power the DEMI preamp.  The DEMI preamp is better than the internal one, but
not by a large margin.  With
BOTH preamps on, is only marginally better.  I plan on adding cutoff relays
like the PR6 later.

Background: I do weak signal 6M work, with 104 countries worked in 6 years
down here in the black hole of southwest
GA.  Antenna: 7x7 LFA at 120' and 85'.

I'm not. But I did a post from Elecraft stating it was possible IF enough
wanted it.

I am over 'add on boxes' for now to fix a problem that should have been
done sooner, not later.

Just thinkin'
